Summary

For the past 27 years, I have worked on various projects across different industries. I have held roles in medium and large companies as a Senior Management Consultant, Agile Expert, Transformation Coach (Scaled Agile Expert, Enterprise and Team Agile Coach), Program and Project Manager as well as Enterprise and Chief Architect. I also have many years of experience in strategic projects, rollouts, and responsibility for budgets, projects, and teams. In addition, I have led national and international teams in companies with different cultures and stakeholders. As a department head, I took on the professional and disciplinary leadership as well as the responsibility in cross-border projects.

In recent years, I have focused on strategy and management consulting with an emphasis on Lean Portfolio Management, digital and agile transformation, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Agile Coaching, and Scaled Agile. In this area, I help organizations, leaders, and teams develop more effective ways of working, greater self-organization, and higher business agility. I support decision-makers, project and product managers, Product Owners, architects, and developers both in applying agile practices in daily operations and in establishing and optimizing the processes needed for them. I bring my experience in agile, traditional, and hybrid project management and help companies choose and implement the methods and frameworks that fit them best.

I have also guided and trained numerous employees in their professional development, for example through SAFe training or as a coach on the path to Scrum.org certifications. A special focus of my work is process design and the optimization of business and work processes, services, and products. I help companies make existing structures more efficient, build scalable processes, and sustainably integrate agile methods into the organization.

I act pragmatically and with a practical approach. My methodological and leadership experience, as well as my background in roles such as software developer and architect, help me quickly understand complex issues, select appropriate solutions, and make important technical and strategic decisions confidently.
